timoteous’

A cup of Irish Cream Coffee, and

A Tripledecker.

It doesn’t make the the perfect breakfast, but definitely my favorite every time I’m in KLIA.

From KL to Jakarta. From Le Meridien, KL (pass by it at KL Sentral) to Le Meridien, Jakarta.

From a jammed up town to a very freaking jammed up town.

How great.

At least, the hotel is nice 🙂

The bed I’m going to fully utilize. To sleep of course, in case your mind wandered off.

Lasting = lusting?? HAHAHA 😛

One of the building in front of the hotel. World Trade Centre. LOL scary.

This picture is to clear the air for some people who might think Jakarta is not an advanced city. They have got loads and loads of skyscrappers.

Had one of the best char kuey teow for dinner. Best of all, it’s beef char kuey teow. Just imagine Penang char kuey teow fried with beef in it and that’s the taste I got here. Awesomeness.

Gotta hit the bed now. Feeling extremely tired.

p/s: I miss ya.

I break, I cry,

You break, you buy.

Something interesting I saw while shopping in Mal Ambasador and ITC Kuningan. A bit different from the norm seen.

Ahh, finally its coming to an end. Will definitely miss the room and shopping experience here. The flight’s at 1545 tomorrow and expected to land in KLIA at 1845 KL time barring no delays whatsoever. And then its up north to Penang early early early morning of Sunday. Oh wells, at least the ang pao due to receive will be of much encouragement and motivation, haha.

Can’t wait….

Maybe it is because I do not have the time to look into the skies in KL, always busy with so much to do. Over here, especially in the taxi caught in the traffic, you will have nothing to do you resort to do every tiny little thing, which led to me looking at the skies.

I am getting sick of buffet meals now, particularly here in Le Meridien. Had too much of it for breakfast that I had to call off lunch because my stomach just can’t take any more food.

Had a very bad hair cut just now +_+ I was praying the whole time my hair was cut but looked like it didn’t work well. Cost me 38k but am not satisfied at all with the style, not the price. I think she did not get what I was explaining to her regarding the hairstyle I wanted so it ended up badly. So if you see me any soon, please bear with the wonderful hairstyle I have.

The stomach started growling when we were having a meeting with the peeps from LSPR (a college in Jakarta that is pretty much modern with cool equipments) because of the lunch meal i skipped. And it was topped up with the cold beer I had while we chilled out in a poolside cafe. The bunch of teachers from UK were courteuos enough to offer to drink more but my stomach couldn’t take any more beer. The way they drink and smoke in huge amounts were quite amazing. Guessed they are used to doing these back in UK.

After it was over, we hurried ourselves to somewhere for good authetic food –  Nasi Padang. It wasn’t that far from the hotel but the journey took a long while. If you have been following my blog you’ll know the cause of it. Food was good, though my colleagues reckoned that the other shop they tried were better. I for one was not bothered at all as I was filthy hungry and kept my eyes only on the food. Had 3 portions of rice with lots of side dishes to fo with it.

So here am I in the room once again, feeling rather lonely. I think I am missing someone over here, but it doesn’t matter, haha. Ladies night today eh? With a club downstairs. Nah, too tired and lazy to try it out. Hitting the bed would be more sensible.

Got off the plane earlier today, but yet again being greeted by the awesome road traffic here. Took us almost 1 hour plus to reach the hotel. Currently lazing around till lunch before heading off for appointments later.

Yesterday was bad. Drove over to the saloon i normally go to get my hair cut. While I was registering my name (I’m a member there that purchased the package), one of the peeps over there told me it was closed. Only did I realised that the sign hanged on the door was stated “CLOSED”. Argh… My only alternative now is to get a haircut in Jakarta, but am kind of worried that the haircut here would be different from the one I can get from KL. Certainly don’t want something too radical, especially when its CNY and you’re going to meet all your relatives. Can’t stand every single one of them commenting about it. We’ll see….

Probably will borrow the camera from my colleague and snap a few pics to display here. As for now, chillax (chill + relax) LOL…

Finally back after a long day. Started with a buffet lunch in the hotel with the person in charge from UKTI. Shared quite some laughter while eating and got to know from her places nearby where we could do some retail therapy. We then adjourned to our distributor’s office in West Jakarta. Didnt have much to do, only some minor discussions and the rest were casual. The guy there has so much work to do he wouldn’t be going back his hometown in Medan for CNY, poor lad (he’s an Indonesian Chinese). Guess he could only visit the parents after his current projects, before coming up to KL to meet with the rest of the team in C&G.

That was the end of work for us. And we were lucky he was generous enough to offer his driver to drive us all the way back to Central Jakarta, straight to ITC Kuningan, a nearby mall which has what makes Jakarta so interesting to me, the cheap DVDs! Dirt cheap mind you, only approximately RM2 per DVD. The mall was pretty much similar with Plaza Mangga Dua, which was the mall I visited last time I’m here. Spent almost 3 hours walking around, and finally settled in a local fast food restaurant called “Es Teller 77”, don’t ask me what on earth the name means. The food was average, only the side dish (called otak-otak but tasted more like keropok lekor) tasted a bit better.

To sum it all up, a good day of shopping perhaps? And I still haven’t got my hair cut, argh. Stopped by few saloons but was not convinced by the appearance, lol. Bought a lot of DVDs and am currently trying to find ways to hide it so it could pass the custom safely.

Getting kind of late here, better get some rest because its going to be another long day tomorrow. Ciao!
